Shipp Family Reunion

Yesterday was the reunion for my Dad's side of the family. We headed down to Joseph, UT and gathered at the old Parker house. I remember that house from childhood being extremely scary and I hated sleeping there. I walked in yesterday and it didn't seem nearly as huge and scary as before. I guess that's what 15-20 years does for you. ;)

A little historical tidbit - This house is a historical landmark in Utah and has a plaque saying so next to the front door. It was finished in 1911 so it's coming up on 100 years old.

My sister and her family were there and it was fun to hang out... although way to hot for my liking... and Mical's... poor thing is 33+ weeks pregnant. The house doesn't have A/C either, so there was no relief inside.

My mom and sister, Mical.

Kanyon and his cousin, Callie. We tried to get them to be cute together... they weren't so interested.

My mom and Scarlett.


Steve, ready to leave! ;)

I say that I just hung out, but that's not quite true since I was the "photographer" for the event. Yeah, I have decided that I don't have the nerves of steel to do that job. It's tough and there is a lot of pressure. Posed family portraits are NOT my style either... so that sucks. I prefer more candid, natural pictures. Oh well, it's done and it turned out okay.
